Can the wavy edge bread knife be sharpened?

I see no need to even think about sharpening this knife. It easily slices through a warm croissant with a single pull! No crushing at all. The only thing other than breads and cakes that I use it for is slicing my bacon covered meatloaf. Cuts perfect slices like a crusted bread.

I don't know. I'm under the impression that serrated knives in general cannot be sharpened.

I have cut meat with this knife and it worked well, but I do not feel the serrated edge can be easily sharpened.

Yes, you can but you might consider getting the Shun sharpening steel. The Shun knife blade is set up on a particular angle The Shun steel has a built in guide to set the knife at exactly the angle the knife has from the factory. I should also say that a few swipes on the Shun steel really makes a difference, aligning the edge and removing small imperfections without doing damage to the blade.

I believe you can set the edge in as far as you need to. I have not run into this situation yet. But the knife would have to be very very thick to really affect the sharpening.

No, I'm pretty sure that you can't sharpen serrated edge knives with any regular sharpener.

No, this is a trainer, so the edge is dull and made in a way that it cannot be sharpened.

FYI... here is what Wusthof said: Hi, Serrated edge knives actually never need to be sharpened. The way the blades are made, the part that needs to stay sharp never hits a cutting surface so it should not ever go dull. Using a serrated edge knife on the 2904-7 knife sharpener would damage it, so I do not recommend trying it. Regards, Lauren info@wusthof.com Wusthof-Trident Inc 333 Wilson Avenue Norwalk, CT 06854

Yes, to a razor fine edge. Use a quality knife steel like one from Chicago Cutlery, etc. A ceramic rad works too.

I haven't tried to do that - but the construction of the cutter assemby is pretty flimsy so I would not plan to cut sandpaper with this machine - there are no provisions for sharpening a dulled curtting edge.

No - It comes with a knife that looks like one ! but it does not have a serrated edge. Works on bread though.

Yes you can. Traditionally only the last 1/2 to last 1/4 of the blade was sharpened. A caveat exists. Generally blades from China are poor at holding a good edge, and are very brittle (i.e. the blade is more decoration than functional), so do some research on the steel used in making the blade.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

The blades can't be sharpened, but some sharpeners can replace the cutter for much cheaper than the replacement cost of the whole blade. I send mine to Northern Tails Sharpening, he charges $10 to refurbish 5-in-1 blades.

Mine is serrated so it can't be sharpened, but it shouldn't have to be. They call it micro serrated, the teeth are very small and close together. Don't put the blades in the dishwasher or let hard stuff hit them and it should last a long time

It is very difficult to sharpen a serrated knife, but because it is called a "cake/bread" knife, and is only meant to cut softer items, it should rarely need to be sharpened. This knife would not do a great job of cutting brisket or other meat. For that you want a carving knife, and you can find a bunch by searching "granton carving knife" on Amazon. Those knives will be much better for the job.

Sorry, just saw this email. Hope it's not too late to help you. No, I don't believe the edge you speak of is sharpened. I gave the knife to my daughter to take to college with her, so I don't have it handy. Will it take an edge? I don't know, I suppose it's possible. That doesn't help, I know, but since I don't have it with me I don't want to say anything misleading.
